Mittagberg (Midday mountain) is a mountain (1451m) located in the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria, just south of Immenstadt, and is part of the Naturparks Nagelfluhkette. Its vertical separation is at least 31m, with a prominence of 500m when using the Bärenköpfle as reference. When looking at the mountain from Immenstadt, the sun at noon is right on top of the peak, giving it its name "Mittag" based on the German word for noon (mid day). There are multiple hiking trails that lead up to the peak of the mountain.
